IMC Jeddah Achieves Two Groundbreaking Milestones in Cardiology

The International Medical Center (IMC) in Jeddah continues to set new benchmarks in cardiac care with two significant achievements in structural heart interventions, further solidifying its reputation as a leading cardiac center in the region.

In recent developments, IMC’s Cardiac Center successfully performed the first Left Bundle Branch Pacing Pacemaker implantation in private hospitals in Jeddah. This innovative procedure offers a superior solution for patients needing pacemaker implants, providing enhanced precision and more natural heart function. The successful procedure reflects the expertise and advanced capabilities of IMC's Cardiac Center in adopting state-of-the-art medical technologies.

In another remarkable accomplishment, the Cardiac Center performed the first PASCAL Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair System in IMC. This cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure, used to repair the mitral valve, provides patients with a safer alternative to open-heart surgery, reducing recovery times and enhancing patient outcomes.

These pioneering procedures position the IMC Cardiac Center as a trailblazer in structural heart interventions in Saudi Arabia and the wider region. With a focus on offering the most advanced cardiac treatments, the center remains at the forefront of medical innovation, continually pushing the boundaries of excellence in cardiac care.

Dr. Walid Fitaihi, CEO of IMC, praised the ongoing success: “These breakthroughs underscore IMC’s unwavering commitment to healthcare innovation, particularly in cardiology. Our Cardiac Center is setting new standards for care in the region, and we are proud of our medical team’s dedication to delivering world-class cardiac treatments.”

The IMC Cardiac Center is staffed by highly skilled cardiologists and supported by cutting-edge medical technology, offering a comprehensive range of services from diagnostics to advanced interventions. These latest successes mark an important chapter in IMC’s mission to provide transformative healthcare solutions for heart disease in the region.
